Two smart keys run each other down?
Now that I have two hybrids, I have two smart keys to carry around. If they are in the same pocket, will they run each other's battery down since they are both transmitter/receivers and "see" each other? Or can they both live in peace and harmony? The other pocket is for my smart phone and it probably dislikes the remotes.
Now that I have two hybrids, I have to be concerned that everything lives in harmony. Have a craving to hug elm trees and my wife suddenly started to shop at the food co-op. I intend to write-in Nader's name on the ballot. ;) |
Re: Two smart keys run each other down?
I carry two Camry Smartkey FOBS in my pocket and have for 5 years. I get about 2.5 years on each battery.
So to answer your question NO two fobs will not shorten the life of the battery to any appreciable degree. I am told that keeping a smartkey FOB in close proxmitiy to a cell phone can shorten the FOB's battery life. So if you toss the FOBs and cell phone in a purse or gym bag beware. |

Can you have the cars programmed so that one smart key works on both cars?
